Did you know that the Easter Long Weekend will be 5 days long in 2011??!!

The Easter Long Weekend will be 5 days long in 2011??!!

Why?

Because Easter Monday falls on the 25th April which is also ANZAC Day and therefore the ANZAC Day public holiday has been moved to Tuesday 26th April 2011 (in most states and territories of Australia).

Good Friday - 22nd April 2011
Easter Saturday - 23rd April 2011
Easter Sunday - 24th April 2011
Easter Monday - 25th April 2011
ANZAC Day public holiday - 26th April 2011

So now that you have five straight days of holidays why not take a break and enjoy the extra long weekend.
